North Salinas High alum and San Jose Earthquakes defender Ramiro Corrales announced earlier this week he will retire at the end of this season. The Earthquakes are in contention for an MLS playoff berth and have three regular season games remaining.

The Earthquakes have put together a tribute video highlighting Corrales' achievements in MLS, which span an amazing 18 years and 306 MLS games to date. You can watch it above.

Here's some of the notes on Corrales' MLS career:

* Corrales was around when the MLS began in 1996, then with the San Jose Clash. He's the last player who was around in 1996 to still be playing.
* He's played 24,536 minutes of MLS action.
* He's played in 11 games this season, the 14th time he's played at least 10 games in an MLS season.
* He's played for the San Jose Clash, NY/NJ MetroStars and the last two editions of the Earthquakes. He was captain in 2008, the first year the team returned to MLS.
* He has 16 goals and 37 assists. He last scored a goal on Sept. 2, 2012, when he scored two against Chivas USA in a 4-0 win.
